    The country and media continue to engage with Trump’s obvious AI distraction spam. Do some real news.

    This is propaganda, and it’s working. This is a distraction ploy. This is being done solely to absorb your limited attention. They’re pulling a Kansas City Shuffle.

    We should ignore this, and every other instance of Trump saying anything, he’s blustering for your attention while they tear everything else apart. They are actively making moves to stop the midterms from happening, continuing to drop bombs on ceasefire areas, completely disregarding an impending hurricane for anyone outside Mar A Lago, refusing military death payouts as they send more people into yet another meat grinder they refuse to call a war for clerical reasons, and allowing disease to spread through our food supply with no regard other than profit.

    Nobody is immune to propaganda, if you’re mad about this pointless nonsense then it worked on you.

    Sorry I didn’t read all the comments if it was said, at some point world leaders need to treat him like a toddler. Oh great picture Trump, we’ll put that on the fridge. Notice how you almost stayed in all the lines and almost used all the correct letters, you get one scoop of ice cream from our presidential stock. Give him the crap we give to kids on holidays

    That was flippant I know but I think if they were properly shunned the US will either learn or accept their place at the table with Russia and North Korea. They are not serious people in any way or form, pretending they are is just enabling the asshole Americans to act like they’re winning, which they don’t understand politics to see how much they’ve lost. Which they would if they bothered to vote in people to help their education system and not be in their situation.

    Oh they have all the nukes, yes but can they even aim them these days outside of killing fishermen and schoolchildren? They lost logistics for their carrier, the best known bits of the US military was logistics. The ice cream barge in WWII would be diluted into the ocean under these people. Morale is highly under appreciated by these people.

      So I get it, half of us suck ass. I wish people would stop saying " Americans" as if all of us want this shit stain to have any form of power. He shouldn’t even have power over his own television, that’s how useless he is. Call them Trump supporters, not Americans. They go against everything the rest of value dearly. Calling them Magats is also acceptable.

        Considering the fact that the Americans who don’t worship Trump seem to spend most of their time clutching their pearls about how some people don’t like the latest Disney movie and constantly insist that holding a weekend sign-waving parade a couple of times per year is all they should be reasonably expected to do to fight a fascist regime that’s killing people by the thousands and creating chaos all around the world, I think condemning the country as a whole is appropriate.

        But hey, maybe a few more Luigi memes will make Trump go away.

          Or maybe judging every person in a country because of the actions of one man and his followers is a very Trump supporter thing to do. Just to make sure you understand, if you with your mindset and way of thinking were born here, you would probably be a red hat wearing piece of garbage just like them.

            If I was born in the United States, and my country’s democratically-elected government was threatening to annex its neighbours, bombing countries unprovoked, allowing hundreds of thousands of people to die due to suddenly reneging on expected aid and generally doing everything in its power to destroy the concept of democracy around the world I’d like to think my biggest concern wouldn’t be that some of the people in the countries being attacked aren’t going out of their way to fluff my ego. The fact that that does seem to be the biggest concern of so many Americans says a lot.

    Eh.

    Can keep calling him insane. Doesn’t mean much. He’s a fascist. That’s what we need to start calling him. And while we used to know exactly what to do with fascists, it seems we’ve lost our nerve.

    What’s insane is that he doesn’t need to change up the playbook for keeping the discussion off him being a child sex trafficker who is, with the support of the Republican party, protecting other child sex traffickers and pedophiles.

      To be fair both parties are complicit.

      Edit: to whoever downvoted this, are you aware that Biden was president after Epstein died? Also wasn’t Obama president after he was originally charged? They would have had access to any information that was available.

      I’ll agree that voters on the left want to punish everyone however, and people on the right are happy to keep voting for pedos. Most politicians from both sides are shit though.

    Those pesky Canadians! Just kidding as I sip on some Canadian whiskey. The onion struck again sigh. At least I make an effort to buy Canadian products, but that’s all I can do until voting time.

    Trump wants to give every Mexican rapist, pet eating Haitian, Dominican, and Jamaican invaders citizenship so that they can be protected from ICE. Iceland is a new one, but Trump will surely force MAGA to dress like Bjork.

    “And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

    It doesn’t surprise me when this is the mentality that is running America. He’s a ‘star’ that’s trying to grab the world by the pussy. How long until the insanity ends?

      I knew the U.S. was fucked when conservatives/regressives just shrugged the grab 'em by the pussy remark off.

      That was the point I knew for certain that they were amoral and that we were in for some bad times.

      It’s vile that I had never heard something so crass even in a locker room, but these fuckers in suits with gajillions of dollars can do it on video and every just kinda went along like that was the new acceptable standard.

      How long before the insanity ends. About two years then we get a new president and we get a new form of insanity.
